We started our home-buying journey back in 2021, and I probably asked a million random questions…read morealong the way. Through all those years, Eddie was always patient, never once making me feel like I was bothering him. He answered every call, every text, every email--always with professionalism and kindness. When it finally came time for the lending process in 2025, he invited us to his office before signing any official documents so we could review everything together in person. Even though he could have easily handled it over the phone, he wanted to make sure we fully understood every detail. That extra step gave us so much confidence and showed how much he truly cares about his clients. Fast forward to today, we are officially homeowners, and we truly don't think we could have done it without him. His guidance made the process so much less stressful, and we always felt supported every step of the way. If you're looking for someone who will be there for you from start to finish (no matter how long it takes), I can't recommend Eddie enough!!!!

As of today, I'm officially a homeowner, and I couldn't be more thankful for Steve Kim and the team…read moreat Compass Lending Group. I was introduced to Steve through a mutual friend, and from the start, he was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and really took the time to help me understand everything. He broke things down clearly, gave honest advice, and always made sure I was making decisions that fit my budget and goals. I never felt overwhelmed or lost--just supported every step of the way. Big shoutout to Susana Lee too. She was amazing at keeping everything organized and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Her follow-ups and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free. One tip I'd give to other first-time buyers: don't be afraid to ask questions, even the ones that feel basic. Steve and Susana were incredibly patient and helpful, and having that kind of support made a huge difference. Really grateful I got to work with such a solid team. They made a complicated process feel manageable and even enjoyable. I'll definitely be working with Compass Lending Group again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a team that truly cares.

Nothing slipped through the cracks, and he made the entire process seamless and smooth. I highly recommend George.

Started as a lender, ended as a friend. She was not only easy to work with, very professional, but takes each loan very personal and goes above and beyond. She informs you every step of the way and looks for ways to save you money. I will use Laura for all future loans. Thank you... Laura, you are amazing. :)

In our first meeting…read morewith her, she did not try to hard sell her services, only gave us relevant info and answered all of our questions and even encouraged us to talk to other lenders. She was able to refer us to multiple other helpful people in the process, like a realtor and insurance agent (we ended up working with the agent too, and he was very helpful). She continued to answer questions even before we had committed to her as a lender and were making offers, and when the time came to shop the loan for the actual accepted offer she was able to beat everyone on both price (including a credit union) and obviously great service. There were zero mistakes or overlooked details during the process, everything was extremely transparent when it came to costs, and I would recommend Laura to anyone looking to purchase a home in the future. Thanks Laura!

We recently had the pleasure of closing a transaction with Julie and the Aragon Lending Team, and…read moreit was a great experience from start to finish! Julie was professional, responsive, and on top of everything throughout the entire transaction. Communication between lending and escrow was excellent, and whenever we needed an update or had a question, she was quick to respond and kept everything moving forward. As an Escrow Officer, I truly appreciate working with a lender who understands the importance of communication, timing, and teamwork. Having a lending partner who stays engaged and works closely with escrow makes such a difference in getting everyone to a smooth and successful closing. Julie and the Aragon Lending Team were wonderful to work with, and I would absolutely recommend them. I look forward to working together again on many more transactions! Thank you, Julie, for being such a great lending partner!

After talking with Seth, there was zero doubt in my mind this is the team I want to be a part of. The group has been outstanding from beginning to end with getting the second home loan. It feels incredibly personal and they are most definitely there to hold your hands and encourage you. I had a bit of a panic attack one day during the process and reached out to both Seth and Tiffany. They were able to bring me back down to Earth, reassure me, and bring me back to feeling excited. This was exactly what I needed. Short term rentals are still very new to me but if you need a team to get you through this, this group is the one. Cannot wait to continue to do work with them.

He spoke to me about some concerns about the deal to make sure I was aware, and I don't think any other lender would have done that because they would just want the deal.

Can't thank them enough.

I thought I would never end up buying a house...so when I found my dream home just randomly driving…read moreby one day, I realized I didn't have any knowledge of how the process work. While my parents introduced me to a family friend who was a real estate agent, I had no idea how to go about finding a loan officer! After digging through Yelp/Google, I stumbled upon Meridox Mortgage that had stellar reviews and took a chance. I called Meridox and was put in touch with Trung Tran. I let him know that I didn't have any knowledge of how the house-buying process works, but he was incredibly supportive and assured me he would walk me through every step. Shortly after we finished talking on the phone, he sent me a list of items to provide for the pre-approval letter. Trung's turnaround was quick. I sent him my information in the evening and got the letter the next morning. My real estate agent used this letter to draft the offer...it was accepted! After my offer was accepted, the rest of the process was somewhat nebulous, but my real estate agent worked closely with Trung to help me through. Trung was with me every step of the way. He patiently explained how my monthly mortgage payment and closing costs were calculated and even helped me negotiate a home insurance offer. He even kept a close eye on the market and advised me when I should lock in the rate. I thought home buying would be more stressful, but it wasn't as bad as I thought because Trung made every step clear and was very on top of deadlines. From pre-approval to loan closing, it took just one month! Thank you Trung for being so diligent and patient in helping me secure my dream home! Trung was also very proactive in reaching out to me a few months later when interest rates dropped by about 1%. I had the honor of working with Trung again for my refinance, and it was also efficient and painless! I recommended Trung to my coworker recently when she was looking to buy a condo. Highly recommended to anyone who is in a market for a house to look into Meridox!! Thanks again for your hard work, Trung!!!

A little background: I did 2 house purchases, and 1 house sale by myself without a realtor before engaging Meridox. I didn't need handholding, because I was not a first-time buyer. I wanted an advisor who can give me an honest opinion as to pricing, knows the neighborhoods, and can negotiate with the seller's agent. Linh was so on top of things. She understood that I was busy and scheduled multiple showings for me on weekends. She mapped out our route, so we can be efficient with time. She never asked me to consider any property that was outside my price range or not what I was looking for. I was able to knock out many home viewings with her, and we put in a couple of offers. I saw a house that fell out of escrow. I messaged her, and she was immediately on it. She showed me the house, called the seller's agent, and basically convinced the seller to take my offer that was a tad below listing that either that same day or the next. (OC is a hot market, so this was an incredible deal! My other offers all sold above listing.) She was incredibly responsive, super sharp, and very easy to work with. I used Meridox as my mortgage broker as well and used them again to refinance a year later. Very seamless and easy transaction. Forget all the agents who claim to "treat you like family." Choose Meridox: the true professionals.
